Named the 5th Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute, Fred Astaire had a career as a leading man that lasted decades. Astaire is one of the best dancers in the history of film, and unquestionably the most influential. Royal Wedding is an opulent and special film for several reasons. Visually stunning in the most lavish of locations and sets, Royal Wedding has a lofty air about it that never descends from the clouds. Astaire dances with several ladies, but the show stealers are his solo performances, including the famous tap dance on the ceiling! Charming, funny, romantic, elegant, Royal Wedding is a cornucopia of sumptuous delight. less
